With the holidays here do up whatever you have time for. No special theme. Once the new year comes we'll go back to getting some themes.
January banner theme - Free For All
- Thread starter MAJOR BLOOD
- Start date
The images have to be 920 x 322 or larger to be cropped to that size. That one is 639 x 255 Snake. Do you have a larger shot that could be cropped? I'll see what I can do to expand that picture. I think it will lose some of the backpack and MB's gun. I'll work on that this week.
can we ask for a previous submission to be reentered?
If so, I did enter a nightvision effect shot of some delta troopers on a little bird I would like to resubmit.

Any older pics can be entered too. Once I get the contest archive up to date there will be a month with second place entries only. Just as a heads up here are a few themes I'm throwing around:
Silhouettes
Extreme elements (figured since some places will be winter and others summer)
To the Rescue (scene with someone getting pulled to safety)
Let me know what you all think and also feel free to offer up any other ideas. Nothing is set in stone. These are just some ideas.

those are all great ideas MB...love the 2nd place idea...
might be cool to force us to all have to use the exact same prop...like all entries MUST include the cash from big bawl'a Destro...or all entries must include Zarannas a$$...if you don't have whatever prop is designated, then tough sh!t for you...

Yes, busy time of year Edwardo. Some people are busy with work or possibly doing stuff to get ready for the holidays. I know I am working 6 days a effin' week and it's killing my free time.
A bribe to participate? HA! Isn't the mod/admin supposed to get bribed? I need to go check one of those other sites and see how this game is played.

Hey, I tried to get your info so you could get something you might have used. Hell, I even offered other stuff and would still send it if wanted. There are weapons packs and figures available. It wasn't like a zombie contest. 
I do like the confidence but think there is some decent competition up in this piece to make things difficult. Not knocking your work by any means because I think your pics are great. Actually, I kind of pushed to get that October one involved if I remember correctly because it was an awesome shot. I would like to see more pics entered all around but it doesn't always work that way. *shrugs*
I'll also help with cropping and whatever anyone needs to the best of my ability. I'm no photoshop wizard but I can do a few things to spice up a scene.

How about a crossover month, Must have figures from 2 different lines in the photo.
I wouldn't mind seeing another No photoshop/editing software month again (none at all). Thats a greedy request since I dont own photoshop or any other digital editing software and am trying to figure out anyway to be able to compete. lol. Maybe also have a time of month that entries cannot be submitted before. This past month an entry was posted before mid-month. It was better than any picture I could take so I didnt bother doing one. I wonder if others felt the same way and got intimidated too. It could just be sour grapes with me (probably is) but I am losing interest in the banners because same people always win (when they enter). My ego finally realized I just cant compete and no matter how much of my dio is scratch built it goes unnoticed because my camera/photoshop skills are 0. Like I said, its definately sour grapes but just wanted to give reasoning on why I didnt enter and probably won't very often in the future.
edit - One last idea. How about a House Wars month?

You know I have that one covered^^^^^^^^ It was funny after you and KT and I talked about the Shock troopers handle I did a pic utilizing it. I got responces on other sites ranging from "thats what its for???" and " Oh I wish I hadn't cut that off."

I like that rescue idea. Hopefully if you do that theme I can get a Tristar M*A*S*H* Bell 47 and Dodge WC56

Here we go, oddly enough this was in your sewer set review MB.
Thats what happens when your Joe verse revolves around a cartoon and comic from the 80s.

You didn't swoon, this type of thing happens everyday on the interweb. Nothing really suprizes me anymore. From pink HISS to cutting off the drag handles to SE chopping the heads off 20 blueshirts and not taking so much as a scratch, I've seen it all.
Look for Lt. Faceless thats one example the other one I remembered must be from facebook.

yer not alone Medd...pretty much everything you said summed up how i feel...
i mean, i don't EXPECT to win, but it almost becomes pointless...i know it's supposed to be for fun and all...
...i don't know...no way to talk about this really w/o sounding like a whiney b!tch...
you spend so much time, creating, and setting up and trying to get the perfect photos...then someone comes in and makes your entry look like you drew it on construction paper with crayons...
i mean, i totally want the banner to be the best work we have on the site, it just makes sense, but when you think what you entered awesome, then it turns out its a hunk of sh!t by comparison, i don't know, its deflating...
*flips emo bangs out of face*
We'll do another no photoshop month too. It will be called "raw dog". 
I still can't believe someone didn't know what those handles were. Do people even use google anymore?

how bout we call it "bare back"
You'd get way too much joy out of the title then. Hell, you'd probably forget to submit a photo because you'd be giddy for 30 days.
Perhaps they need to enter the 36th chamber of google to understand it's true powers.
And to make Eddie happy we'll call the rescue month "pull out".
I am amazed at some questions I see people ask sometimes. I guess they either need online recognition or perhaps want their post count to go up.
